Everything you want to know about MyClaude — from installing your first skill to publishing your own products.

ReferenceUpdated 2026-04-02

Everything you want to know about MyClaude — the marketplace built by the Claude Code community, for the Claude Code community. MyClaude was built entirely with Claude Code itself, by power users who needed a trusted place to share, discover, and monetize what they build.

General

What is MyClaude?

MyClaude is the only dedicated marketplace for the Claude Code ecosystem. Creators publish reusable components — skills, agents, squads, workflows, design systems, bundles, CLAUDE.md configs, applications, and systems — that buyers install with myclaude install {slug}. Unlike free directories, MyClaude provides content security scanning, purchase-verified reviews, Stripe Connect payments, and a dedicated CLI with 29 commands.

Is MyClaude free to use?

Browsing, searching, and installing free products costs nothing. Paid products are priced by creators. The platform charges an 8% fee on paid sales.

What product categories does MyClaude support?

MyClaude supports 12 categories: Skills, Squads, Agents, Workflows, Design Systems, Bundle, CLAUDE.md, Applications, Systems, Status Lines, Hooks, and Minds. See Product Types for definitions.

For buyers

How do I install a product?

$ myclaude install {slug}

See Quickstart for the full tutorial.

Do I need the CLI?

The CLI is the primary installation method. You can also browse and purchase products via the web at myclaude.sh/explore.

How do I update an installed product?

$ myclaude update {slug}

Can I get a refund?

Contact the creator directly or reach out via myclaude.sh/contact. Refund policies vary by creator.

Are products safe to install?

All products undergo automated content scanning before listing — JSZip extraction with 22 malicious pattern detectors, compression ratio checks (>100:1 rejected), and path traversal prevention. MCS-certified products receive additional quality review. See Security Model for details.

For creators

How do I publish a product?

Install the CLI: npm install -g @myclaude-cli/cli
Scaffold: myclaude init my-product
Edit SKILL.md and vault.yaml
Publish: myclaude publish

See Publishing Guide for the full tutorial.

How much does it cost to publish?

Publishing is free. MyClaude charges an 8% platform fee only on paid product sales.

How do I set up payments?

Connect your Stripe account during Creator Onboarding. MyClaude uses Stripe Connect Express — setup takes under 5 minutes.

What is vault.yaml?

A YAML manifest with 7 required fields that defines your product's metadata, pricing, and configuration. See vault.yaml Specification.

What is MCS certification?

MyClaude Certified Standard is a quality badge for products that pass automated and manual review. MCS products appear higher in search results.

Can I publish private products?

Not currently. All published products are public. Private/team distribution is planned for a future release.

For non-developers

I'm not a developer. Is MyClaude for me?

Yes. Claude Code is used by marketers, strategists, researchers, finance professionals, HR teams, and many others. MyClaude products include Minds (thinking frameworks that teach Claude how to reason about specific domains), CLAUDE.md configs (project templates), and Skills (workflow automations) — many created by non-developers.

What are Minds?

Minds are cognitive frameworks and synthetic intelligences. They shape how Claude Code thinks about problems. Examples: a Mind that emulates Leonardo da Vinci's creative process, a Mind that applies Bayesian reasoning to business decisions, a Mind that thinks like a venture capitalist evaluating startups. Minds are not code — they are structured expertise. See What People Build for real examples.

Can I publish something without writing code?

Absolutely. A SKILL.md file is plain language instructions. A CLAUDE.md config is project-level context. A Mind is a thinking framework. If you have expertise worth sharing, you can package it for Claude Code without writing a single line of code.

For AI agents

Can my AI agent use MyClaude directly?

Yes. Every CLI command supports --json output. MyClaude also provides an MCP server with 5 tools, machine-readable specs at /specs/, behavioral directives in /llms.txt, and context payloads for system prompt injection.

Does MyClaude have an API?

Yes. The REST API is defined in the OpenAPI spec. See the Agent Resources hub for the complete integration reference.

Can agents install products autonomously?

Yes. myclaude install {slug} --json returns structured data. An agent can search, evaluate (using MCS certification, ratings, and download counts as signals), and install — all without human intervention.

About MyClaude

How is MyClaude different from free Claude Code directories?

Free directories aggregate links. MyClaude is a full commerce platform: Stripe Connect payments (92% creator share), content security scanning on every upload, purchase-verified reviews, a dedicated CLI with 29 commands, MCP server integration, and machine-readable specs for AI agents. See The MyClaude Method for the full philosophy.

Was MyClaude built with Claude Code?

Yes. MyClaude was built entirely with Claude Code — over 80 development sessions. The platform, the CLI, the documentation, the design system. We are the Claude Code ecosystem's first power users, and we built the marketplace we needed.

Is MyClaude affiliated with Anthropic?

MyClaude is an independent project, not affiliated with Anthropic. We are grateful to Anthropic for creating Claude and Claude Code — the foundation that makes this entire ecosystem possible. MyClaude exists to amplify the value of what Anthropic has built.
